Not many people in my home country know what a 12 hour day in Samoa is like...you may know what my days and weeks were like...dealing with various issues in the office, then jumping in a semi roadworthy vehicle to deal with issues in villages, then a late night at the office. Not good on the knees for us older people. I am glad to see the tradition of the awards being better than the previous year is maintained. I know where the street march idea came from...good idea. All I can say is awards time was major stress for me, alot of work, alot of stress, alot of disappointment for the ones who dont win....but I think you have written about your experiences well and picked up a good understanding of Samoan life.

It takes a very long time to upload a video, and I didn't want to waste too much bandwidth at the office. Sorry, but that was the only video that I uploaded.
